Don't mention "Christmas in Australia" - we released it on a CD a few years ago (2001) and as a CD single.

Jim Bowen (Radio Lancashire at the time) decided to have an early Christmas so it was decided that he would play our version of CiA, however we weren't allowed to say "Bloody" on daytime Radio so we had to re-record it as "Blooming" Not quite the same!

The original chorus(for them whot ain't heard it):-

Christmas in Australia is Christmas in Paradise
Christmas in Australia is Basically Bloody Nice
Bruce goes steady with Sheila, Sheila goes steady with Bruce
If you don't have a Christmas suntan, Your a Pommie and you ain't no use.


We still do the song, needless to say the Bloody's back.
